So my question to you is this: Is it right for the media to make jokes about these people seemingly because these people have different views than Obama? Is the media fine and free to say this kind of stuff? Whats the deal?

I've viewed 1 video where the tea-baggers were acting inline with nazis. Burn books! (on evolution) amongst other inane ideas inline with Nazi thoughts. It was rather funny.

I think the mainstream media is calling it as they see it along with the rest of us having a laugh at these misinformed and misguided folks.

Comrade PhysioProf walked through one of these wackaloon teabagger parties yesterday. Looking at and listening to the people in attendance, it was abundantly clear that they represent the most ignorant stone-cold-fucking-stupid dregs of the dregs of remaining sewage of the sick-fuck right wing of American society. These selfish whiny pig people are repugnant to decent Americans.

So, because they have different views than you, it is ok to try to publicly humiliate them? What if a group was trying to burn religious books, should I publicly humiliate them with crude humor on national television?

There will always be stupid people. Why must everyone else sink to their level?

And what about the thousands of people that were protesting one of the largest spending sprees in the world by the president? Are they also "tea-baggers" ?

Have you read any of beemer's threads?

DAVID SHUSTER, HOST: It's going to be tea-bagging day for the right-wing and they're going nuts for it. Thousands of them whipped out the festivities early this past weekend and, while the parties are officially toothless, the tea-baggers are full-throated about their goals. They want to give President Obama a strong tongue-lashing and lick government spending-spending they did not oppose when they were under presidents Bush and Reagan.

We can only speculate why widespread tea-bagging made Cavuto think of the Million Man March, unless he got them confused with Dick Armey. And in Cavuto's defense, if you are planning simultaneous tea-bagging all around the country, you're going to need a Dick Armey.

regardless of whether Fox knows the "proper procedure" for tea bagging is not the point. The point is that the other media outlets (like MSNBC) definitely knew the meaning of what they were saying.
